FAQ - Setting the Cost of the Retainer in a Criminal Case

How Does the Cost of the Retainer Get Set?

The attorney will look at the cost of litigating previous cases that were similar to the charges in your case. Another important factor in setting the price of a retainer is the fact that an attorney cannot easily withdraw from a criminal case once he or she enters his appearnace. Thus, the attorney must budget for the long haul so to speak. All of that said, our law firm will take all factors into consideration and we offer a low, flat fee price that is considerably lower than what other lawyers charge.
